The State of California has fined Cedars-Sinai Medical Center $25,000 for giving overdoses of a blood thinner to three infants, including the newborn twins of actor Dennis Quaid.

The California Department of Public Health found that hospital personnel failed to follow their own procedures for safe medication use, and that resulted in what they called "preventable medication errors."

In November, Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace, then 10 days old, were given 1000 times the recommended dosage of Heparin, an adult-strength blood thinner, after they were hospitalized with an infection. The twins have since recovered completely.

Dennis and Kimberly filed a lawsuit against the manufacturers of Heparin, Baxter Healthcare Corp., accusing the company of negligence in packaging different doses of the product in similar vials.
